Hi,
If they have MS-DOS,that is. Remember it is no longer available from
Microsoft. Probably neither PC-DOS nor DR-DOS will also last for long.
Even if they do, it is much better to have a free and open source
OS than a proprietary one.
Yes, I agree.
But sadly, FreeDOS still not v1.0, that means it's still have some
kind of bugs.
which is cause, which is consequence? ;-)
My point is, if the program run smoothly in FreeDOS, fine! But just
like my Chinese System "HAN", never works in FreeDOS, I have no choice
but to use MS-DOS, in this period I can't switch to FreeDOS, and I'm
willing to see the FreeDOS directions towards "New Hardware for old
software (of course new software will works)", so in MY opinion,
development should be 386 oriented and have a 8086/286 version.
I agree with this, and if simplicity in the number of versions available
is an issue, have 386+ and 8088 versions (being 286+ optimized is ok
whenever possible, and whenever the differences between the
286-optimized and 386-optimized versions are small.
Furthermore, this is something already done, I assume, but such versions
should clearly say "386+ optimised version" or "8088 version" clearly in
the /?, or this may become a nightmare of versions when a user reports bugs.
